Zenith watch comments welcome

Dear Members,

I would be glad of any help or advice regarding this watch left to me by my Father who passed away recently I am finding it hard to find anyone / where who can restore this watch dates from around 1918 / 1920
I look forward to hearing from you with any advice or input

Kind regards

Walter

The watch appears to be keeping really good time bearing in mind it is nearly a hundred years old

Hi Members,

After a very long time pardon the pun l am pleased to say this watch is running a treat plus a couple of minutes in a 24 hour period
I have Brendan Hoey the webwatchmaker to thank for this and a number of old watches all repaired and serviced l can not speak highly enough of his skill and expertise
